Would this PSU be sufficient?

Go to solution Solved by quan289,

 

Well, that's a good budget unit, and have better component choices than the CX600M; however, it is not so much better that it justify a $26 increase in price. Not to mentioned the CX600M currently have a $20 MIR to effectively make it a $46 difference. The two XFX I had mentioned would be superior options.

 

If you are going to spend that much on the PSU, get the EVGA Supernova 550w G2 instead. http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-220g20550y1

Hello everyone.

 

I've been putting a PC build together as of recent, and have already gone and ordered a couple of parts. I'm just a bit worried about the PSU. I've already ordered it and I fear it may not be enough. I would like some opinions. Would it be sufficient? I can give more info if needed.

 

Thanks!

No, a CX600 should not be paired with a high-end GPU. The XFX TS or Antec HCG would be a better pairing.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

Here's some life advice: Never skimp out on a PSU.

Intel Core i7-6700K | Corsair H105 | Asus Z170I PRO GAMING | G.Skill TridentZ Series 16GB | 950 PRO 512GB M.2

 

Asus GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB STRIX OC | BitFenix Prodigy (Black/Red) | XFX PRO Black Edition 850W

The CX600M would be able to power that system; however, spending $1000 on a high-end system and yet not being concern about the longevity / performance of the PSU by getting something entry level isn't exactly something I would advise. This include the EVGA 600B.

 

I would recommend investing something like XFX TS 550w Gold or the XTR 550w if you want a fully modular unit.
